Anna Maria Tobbe (1838 – 1886), was a Dutch pharmacist.[1] She was the second female pharmacist in the Netherlands (1868, after Aaltje Visser the same year), but the first to apply for it (1865), which eventually brought about the reform that enabled women to be licensed.
Tobbe was the middle daughter of Hendrik Tobbe (Zaandijk, 25 February 1806 - Zaandijk, 13 March 1865) and Jeannette Scholten, and was born in a wooden house on de Lagedijk (The Lower Dike) in Zaandijk. Along with her two sisters Barbera Christina and Helene Dorothea and her brother Hendrik, she belonged to the fourth generation of a family of surgeons and pharmacists.[1]
